Winston's tongue in cheek response to the ratings reveal is worth a watch :-)

This is exactly why we need professional data.

Egos are way too big (and yes, I know it is tongue in cheek, but still).

With his size and strength numbers he will be a threat to pick up more yards in the game then in real life

Sorry to bump the old thread but just wanted to respond to this post.

As someone mentioned in this thread, the stats are skewed a bit because sacks subtract from the rushing output in college. Without factoring in sacks, Winston rushed for 650 yards in two seasons. He got sacked a lot.

Winston is a pocket QB, but some of his best qualities is his ability to elude pressure and move within the pocket. He may not time well, but he moves around the field with solid athleticism. He can pick up first downs with his legs. He's not Mariota or anything but 73 speed/81 agility doesn't seem overly inflated.
